Genesis 42
1 And Jacob sees that there is grain in Egypt, and Jacob says to his sons, “Why do you look at each other?”
ヤコブ、エジプトに穀物あるを見しかばその子等にいひけるは汝等なんぞたがひに面を見あはするや
2 He also says, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt, go down there, and buy for us from there, and we live and do not die”;
ヤコブまたいふ我エジプトに穀物ありと聞り彼處にくだりて彼處より我等のために買きたれ然らばわれら生るを得て死をまぬかれんと
3 and the ten brothers of Joseph go down to buy grain in Egypt,
ヨセフの十人の兄弟エジプトにて穀物をかはんとて下りゆけり
4 and Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob has not sent with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm meet him.”
されどヨセフの弟ベニヤミンはヤコブこれをその兄弟とともに遣さざりきおそらくは災難かれの身にのぞむことあらんと思たればなり
5 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine has been in the land of Canaan,
イスラエルの子等穀物を買んとて來る者とともに來る其はカナンの地に饑饉ありたればなり
6 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph’s brothers come and bow themselves to him—face to the earth.
時にヨセフは國の總督にして國の凡の人に賣ことをなせりヨセフの兄弟等來りてその前に地に伏て拜す
7 And Joseph sees his brothers, and discerns them, and makes himself strange to them, and speaks sharp things with them, and says to them, “From where have you come?” And they say, “From the land of Canaan—to buy food.”
ヨセフその兄弟を見てこれを知たれども知ざる者のごとくして荒々しく之にものいふ即ち彼等に汝等は何處より來れるやといへば彼等いふ糧食を買んためにカナンの地より來れりと
8 And Joseph discerns his brothers, but they have not discerned him,
ヨセフはその兄弟をしりたれども彼等はヨセフをしらざりき
9 and Joseph remembers the dreams which he dreamed of them and says to them, “You [are] spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
ヨセフその昔に彼等の事を夢たる夢をを憶いだし彼等に言けるは汝等は間者にして此國の隙を窺んとて來れるなり
10 And they say to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food;
彼等之にいひけるはわが主よ然らず唯糧食をかはんとて僕等は來れるなり
11 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; your servants have not been spies”;
我等はみな一箇の人の子にして篤實なる者なり僕等は間者にあらず
12 and he says to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land”;
ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは否汝等は此地の隙を窺んとて來れるなり
13 and they say, “Your servants [are] twelve brothers; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the young one [is] with our father today, and one is not.”
彼等いひけるは僕等は十二人の兄弟にしてカナンの地の一箇の人の子なり季子は今日父とともにをる又一人はをらずなりぬ
14 And Joseph says to them, “This [is] that which I have spoken to you, saying, You [are] spies,
ヨセフかれらにいひけるはわが汝等につげて汝等は間者なりといひしはこの事なり
15 by this you are proved: [as] Pharaoh lives, if you go out from this—except by your young brother coming here;
汝等斯してその眞實をあかすべしパロの生命をさして誓ふ汝等の末弟ここに來るにあらざれば汝等は此をいづるをえじ
16 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and you, remain bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not, [as] Pharaoh lives, surely you [are] spies”;
汝等の一人をやりて汝等の弟をつれきたらしめよ汝等をば繋ぎおきて汝等の言をためし汝らの中に眞實あるや否をみんパロの生命をさして誓ふ汝等はかならず間者なりと
17 and he gathers them into confinement [for] three days.
彼等を皆ともに三日のあひだ幽囚おけり
18 And Joseph says to them on the third day, “Do this and live; I fear God!
三日におよびてヨセフ彼等にいひけるは我神を畏る汝等是なして生命をえよ
19 If you [are] right men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your confinement, and you, go, carry in grain [for] the famine of your houses,
汝等もし篤實なる者ならば汝らの兄弟の一人をしてこの獄に繋れしめ汝等は穀物をたづさへゆきてなんぢらの家々の饑をすくへ
20 and you bring your young brother to me, and your words are established, and you do not die”; and they do so.
但し汝らの末弟を我につれきたるべしさすればなんぢらの言の眞實あらはれて汝等死をまぬかるべし彼等すなはち斯なせり
21 And they say to one another, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication to us, and we did not listen: therefore this distress has come on us.”
茲に彼らたがひに言けるは我等は弟の事によりて信に罪あり彼等は彼が我らに只管にねがひし時にその心の苦を見ながら之を聽ざりき故にこの苦われらにのぞめるなり
22 And Reuben answers them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy? And you did not listen; and his blood also, behold, it is required.”
ルベンかれらに對ていひけるは我なんぢらにいひて童子に罪ををかすなかれといひしにあらずや然るに汝等きかざりき是故に視よ亦彼の血をながせし罪をたださると
23 And they have not known that Joseph understands, for the interpreter [is] between them;
彼等はヨセフが之を解するをしらざりき其は互に通辨をもちひたればなり
24 and he turns around from them, and weeps, and turns back to them, and speaks to them, and takes Simeon from them, and binds him before their eyes.
ヨセフ彼等を離れゆきて哭き復かれらにかへりて之とかたり遂にシメオンを彼らの中より取りその目のまへにて之を縛れり
25 And Joseph commands, and they fill their vessels [with] grain, also to put back the money of each of them into his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one does to them so.
而してヨセフ命じてその器に穀物をみたしめ其人々の金を嚢に返さしめ又途の食を之にあたへしむヨセフ斯かれらになせり
26 And they lift up their grain on their donkeys, and go from there,
彼等すなはち穀物を驢馬におはせて其處をさりしが
27 and the one opens his sack to give provender to his donkey at a lodging-place, and he sees his money, and behold, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,
其一人旅邸にて驢馬に糧を與んとて嚢をひらき其金を見たり其は嚢の口にありければなり
28 and he says to his brothers, “My money has been put back, and also, behold, in my bag”: and their heart goes out, and they tremble, to one another saying, “What [is] this God has done to us!”
彼その兄弟にいひけるは吾金は返してあり視よ嚢の中にありと是において彼等膽を消し懼れてたがひに神の我らになしたまふ此事は何ぞやといへり
29 And they come to their father Jacob, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,
かくて彼等カナンの地にかへりて父ヤコブの所にいたり其身にありし事等を悉く之につげていひけるは
30 “The man, the lord of the land, has spoken with us sharp things, and makes us as spies of the land;
彼國の主荒々しく我等にものいひ我らをもて國を偵ふ者となせり
31 and we say to him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,
我ら彼にいふ我等は篤實なる者なり間者にあらず
32 we [are] twelve brothers, sons of our father, one is not, and the young one [is] today with our father in the land of Canaan.
我らは十二人の兄弟にして同じ父の子なり一人はをらずなり季のは今日父とともにカナンの地にありと
33 And the man, the lord of the land, says to us, By this I know that you [are] right men—leave one of your brothers with me, and take [for] the famine of your houses and go,
國の主なるその人われらにいひけるは我かくして汝等の篤實なるをしらん汝等の兄弟の一人を吾もとにのこし糧食をたづさへゆきて汝らの家々の饑をすくへ
34 and bring your young brother to me, and I know that you [are] not spies, but you [are] right men; I give your brother to you, and you trade with the land.”
しかして汝らの季の弟をわが許につれきたれ然れば我なんぢらが間者にあらずして篤實なる者たるをしらん我なんぢらの兄弟を汝等に返し汝等をしてこの國にて交易をなさしむべしと
35 And it comes to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and behold, the bundle of each man’s silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;
茲に彼等その嚢を傾たるに視よ各人の金包その嚢のなかにあり彼等とその父金包を見ておそれたり
36 and their father Jacob says to them, “You have bereaved me; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin you take—all these [things] have been against me.”
その父ヤコブ彼等にいひけるは汝等は我をして子を喪はしむヨセフはをらずなりシメオンもをらずなりたるにまたベニヤミンを取んとす是みなわが身にかかるなり
37 And Reuben speaks to his father, saying, “You put to death my two sons, if I do not bring him to you; give him into my hand, and I bring him back to you”;
ルベン父に告ていふ我もし彼を汝につれかへらずば吾ふたりの子を殺せ彼をわが手にわたせ我之をなんぢにつれかへらん
38 and he says, “My son does not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when harm has met him in the way in which you go, then you have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
ヤコブいひけるはわが子はなんぢらとともに下るべからず彼の兄は死て彼ひとり遺たればなり若なんぢらが行ところの途にて災難かれの身におよばば汝等はわが白髮をして悲みて墓にくだらしむるにいたらん (Sheol h7585)
